Warhammer Online: Maclean on Patches
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

This week's Dev Diary has a funny story. You see, I (Missy) usually give our devs at least two weeks of lead time for their diaries, to make sure they're not rushed or stressed. A Dev Diary is an important window into the studio and how it works, and so it's my opinion that a dev should feel relaxed and at peace when he or she sits down to the task. This week, though, I finally clubbed him over the head with our resident giant squig (yes, the one you've seen in Podcasts). This Dev Diary is a bit loopy--but that's Bruce in a nutshell! Without further ado, here's an inside look at the creative craziness that keeps the rest of Mythic sane!

Why are MMOs awesome? Because they are constantly being worked on, and a subscription based MMO grows even as you play it. We here at Mythic love our player community, and your feedback has helped us craft our patches to most directly impact the issues that you care about the most. Most games get a patch or two after they come out, and those patches are limited to bug fixes with no new content. Not so here! We live for patches! We love them! Have you been counting our patches?! (I'm talking about patches here, not the little server maintenance thingies or the crazy run of performance improvements we've done this week.) We've put out ten as I write this.
